As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
Methyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate (CAS 876170-40-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C9H9BrO4 and a molecular weight of 261.07 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Methyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate (C9H9BrO4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
